Glossier reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Compliment-magnet signature fragrance
  • Seamless, buildable cream blush
  • Natural, defining brow gel
  • Gentle, lightweight cleanser
  • Inconsistent shade inclusivity
  • Sheer, short-lasting formulas
  • Fragile, leaky packaging
  • Variable scent longevity

Glossier earns praise in reviews for effortless, no‑makeup makeup staples like Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, Lash Slick, and the universally complimented Glossier You fragrance, which many call a signature scent. However, reviewers flag inconsistent makeup payoff and longevity, polarizing skincare efficacy, packaging flaws (leaking body oil, cracking lipstick caps, messy Cloud Paint tubes), reformulation disappointments (Balm Dotcom, You perfume), limited shade range, and some products feeling sheer, basic, or short‑lasting.

  • Glossier is what I consider to be an inexpensive, luxury brand. All of their products are high quality. My favorite by far are the "balm dot coms"... They are the perfect non-sticky lip balm/oils!

  • Glossier is a phenomenal brand that can easily replace your entire makeup bag with its products. The lip balm and boy brow keep me coming back every other month but I like to try new products as well and am never let down. Highly recommend if you are not sure what to get someone for a gift

  • Love the clean beauty look, very sleek and healing. Refreshing for a world that’s focused on packing makeup in pores. Love that they can make makeup fun and still value taking care of your skin. One doesn’t have to suffer for the other! Only downside is some formulations have changed over the years which is a bummer.

  • Glossier’s Skin Tint, Boy Brow, and Cloud Paint have been in my daily rotation for years. Each of them is great for a natural “is-she-wearing-makeup?” look. Those products would get five stars but the brand gets four from me because I haven’t been thrilled with the Milky Jelly Cleanser (I found the scent a bit chemically) or the Balm Dotcom (too gritty).

  • Its light but vibrant pigments are great for beginners and experienced makeup wearers alike. I especially recommend for everyday use.

  • I love their concealer! The brand overall makes really cute products that are super appealing.

  • Their balm dotcom is one of the best lip products I’ve used! It keeps my lips hydrated all day. I love their rose scent!

  • Love the branding, packaging and marketing. I however have mixed reviews about their products. Big fan of their fragrance but their skincare and makeup are not as great compared to competitor products, especially those at lower price points.

  • A brand with good products at a great price point! I purchased the Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint in G11 a few months ago and I like it. I have generally clear skin with a little redness and don’t like the look of a heavy foundation. My only note is that it works best with a primer or it may settle into fine lines/wrinkles.

  • I haven't used all of their products but their perfume is to DIE FOR. I get compliments EVERY time I wear it and always enjoy it.

  • I have mixed reviews about the products but I do like the branding and packaging. I love the unboxing experience and the Cloud Paint and Generation G lipsticks. I don't really like the brow flick product.

  • Really great range of products = some of which have become staples in my collection. Their Cloud Paint, Boy Brow, Balm Dotcom, and Lip Gloss are my favorites. The Glossier You perfume was also great before they reformulated it, it smells very different now and not in a good way:(

  • the only product i have purchased from glossier is the boy brow. while it is a great product - it is so overpriced for the amount that comes in the package. there are many competitions that provide the same amount of value with more product and a lower price point. I have tried their cheek tints while in the store and i cant say i was impressed at the amount of time it stayed for

  • The body hero wash and balm dot calm both work wonders for lips and skin. The glossier you fragrance and candle smell amazing and the candle fills a room in minutes.

  • I wore glossier’s “you” perfume for my wedding day. The smell is unlike anything I’ve ever worn before. It’s unreal. Every time I spray it I become obsessed all over again.

  • I have to say I have mixed feelings about Glossier. It seems like many of their products are geared towards younger users, and as someone who's not exactly a spring chicken anymore, it sometimes makes me feel a bit left out. But, and this is a big "but," two products have completely won me over; Cloud Paint and Generation G lipsticks. These gems have become my go-to staples in my makeup routine. The Cloud Paint gives me the perfect natural flush, and the Generation G lipsticks offer this effortless, lived-in look that I can't get enough of. Seriously, they're amazing. So, while I might not be the exact target demographic for Glossier, I can't deny the magic of these two products. If you're looking for a lovely blush and some killer lipsticks, definitely give them a shot.

  • At first thought it was quite overpriced, decided to see for myself. I think some of the products aren't as good as people hype them up to be like the brow flick, but they have really good products like their blushes, my go to!!
